Applewood Inn
and Llama Trekking
Bed and Breakfast

Llama trekking

One of the favorite activities at the Inn during the cooler months. Treks are two-hour hikes over scenic, hilly terrain around the Inn using the llamas as companions and for packing whatever gear is desired. One route follows mostly wooded trails and a stream with multiple waterfalls, while the other route explores the hilltop meadows and offers great panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Treks are $12.50 per person, with optional picnic lunches starting at $7.50 extra per person for a sandwich lunch. Lunch is usually eaten at a picnic table on top of the hill behind the Inn from which there is a 360-degree view. Special Fall Foliage and Spring Wildflower treks are favorites.

Swimming

The full in-ground swimming pool is one of our favorite spots in the warmer months of May through mid-October. Guests who take a llama trek often like to cool off here afterwards. Evening four-course dinners served poolside are part of a three-night package. After an evening dip in the pool, guests love to watch the fireflies playing on the hillside, watch the deer grazing, or just listen to the crickets singing.

Special Packages

The Quilter's Room is a favorite of newlyweds and guests celebrating an anniversary. It features a queen-sized four-poster bed, gas log fireplace, couch, and large bath with an oversized whirlpool tub. The room also has easy access to the hot tub and swimming pool. A three-night package (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) including dinner Sunday, lodging, in-room flowers, and a llama trek runs $505.00 in season and $432.00 off season. Packages are available for the other rooms as well. Discounts are also available for multiple-night midweek stays.
